Hi Folks
I’m hopefully having my last infusion of Oxaliplatin on Tuesday.
I felt unwell during the last one - about ten minutes b4 the end I began to sweat buckets and vomited . Any tips on how to prevent this please?
Thanks!
Hi Grahamthegreat sorry to hear that you had trouble with your last treatment.
I have had over 750hrs of chemo for my type of cancer but not this specific drug....... different drugs bring different challenges..... You may want to also post in the Bowel (colon and rectum) cancer group as well as this will widen your search for support.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
